Looking at moving to Spain at some point as my wife is considering opening a hostel there. I haven't had a chance to chat with dropzones there yet (its a long way down the road). Does anyone know the situation on types of workers instructors and videographers are? Are they individual contractors like most dropzones in the US or are they actual employees? This would dictate how easy (or difficult) it would be to actually go and be able to legally work there.

Try at skydiveempuriabrava web site, they have sometimes open positoins posted if not just send an email. As far as I know they are staff members but for high picks they also get individual contractors.
